your people, your library

In a way, all children are scientists. Always enquiring of mind, pushing the boundaries of what is possible (can I climb/eat/destroy this?), always trying out new ways of interacting with the world around them.

The Science Alive Under 5 Fest harnesses these inquisitive impulses and sends them off in daring (but actually pretty safe) new directions.

For several days in March the Canterbury Table Tennis Stadium on Blenheim Rd will be converted into a whistling, waving, spinning, whooshing, bleating hive of activity. Numerous “stations” around the venue demonstrate through colourful, interactive fun, the effects of gravity, wind, light, magnetism and more. There is also a petting zoo, puppet show, building with giant blocks and other cool toys to play with.
